Hi Thanks for the reply. I have read the message and will do. Splitting is an option for me.. I would also be willing to pay up to $150ish on the more expensive days to stay at the same hotel for convenience. I guess if this is not successful, I will up my bid a little more maybe to a MAX max of 150. The quality of the hotel is of more importance to me by a little bit. Do you have any suggestions? As the date gets closer, can I expect the likelihood of my maximum bid to be accepted? If so, how long should i wait before bidding my MAX max of 150? Thanks so much
